Default Exedy Twin Disk Clutch installed.....

Just drove home with the Exedy Twin....WHAT A DIFFERENCE!!!!! no more Spec 3 chattering or loud "box of empty bottles" noises...even on cold startup. This clutch has about 1/3 more pedal pressure, but is very comfortable, very well balanced and extremely smooth....right out of the box. This is the clutch for high HP cars. IMO the Spec 3 is not well engineered and performs poorly. :cheers:

Glad to hear it
I have an A4 but your clutch is made here in Michigan.
I might stop in and tell them to monitor the comments on this forum

We knew all of you would like the feel and performance of this clutch assy. when installed in a HP application, that's why we hosted that GP so that everyone could get one that needed it to see what we were so pumped up about.. :hurray:

Happy racing to all and have a good weekend! :cool:


Best Regards,
DTE

Just installed mine a couple of days ago with the new motor. I only have 30 miles on it. It is very postive feeling and lets you know when its engaged. It is very sticky feeling, which I hope will ease up with break in time. I seem to have to let it engage between 1800-2000 for it to smoothly engage, something I was used to doing with my previous clutch setup.

Other then that it is a nice piece of engineering.

Where can I get one? How much? This is exactly what I've been looking for. I was torn between Z06 clutch and aftermarket set up. I'll be pushing 420 at the wheels and didn't want all the chatter.

We also carry them and we were the first and only tuner to host a public GP for these new clutch assy.'s. after they were first relesed, plus we have had prior experience with them. :) Give us a call if we can be of assistance.

Best Regards,
DTE

This is my next mod - thanks for the review. My stock 01 clutch can't handle the power in my car and it's no where near what some of you guys are running

How much is the exedy clutch running?

Edit - I read the rest of the posts
